Orlando Swarm

Tony Romo ready for Full Season – April 22, 2016Orlando Swarm QB Tony Romo (collarbone) tweeted that he’ll be ready for a full offseason after having surgery on his collarbone March 8. The Swarm start their organized team activities at the end of May. Romo has broken his collarbone three times since 2010, and he’s had three surgeries since 2013. Romo should be ready in plenty of time after his surgery in early March. A fully healthy Romo will go a long way in improving Orlando’s offense, but can the 35-year-old injury-prone QB stay healthy for a full season? He hasn’t played a full 16 games since 2012. Because of his injury concerns, Orlando may be better off playing it safe and saving him as a backup.

Report: Josh Gordon’s sense of entitlement worried Swarm – June 26, 2013Fighting entitlement is why Swarm Owner Matt Ricklefs and others have been guarded with their praise for Josh Gordon and others. The Swarm did fear something such as a failed drug test could happen to Gordon, who was being celebrated in town for catching five touchdown passes as if he were the second coming of Terrell Owens or at least Issac Bruce. As one Swarm operative mentioned to me, both Kenny Britt (suspended for taking money from an agent) and Gordon (flunked three drug tests) didn’t play their final seasons in college before being drafted. Then they were given starting XFFL jobs. That’s usually not how it works in the league.
